It's even in the pause screen for The Eternal Night (though not in A New Beginning, assuming because it was a CG model rather than 2D art like the other one) Neat attention to detail Makes me wonder what the 3rd game's pause screen would've looked like if it had the same devs/art direction

The pause screen in The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night, showing a different depiction of the greenish gray version of the image from the previous post, except without the green. The shadows have a purple tint instead.

Random Legend of Spyro appreciation I like that this texture is designed slightly different between the Dragon Temple and The Mountain of Malefore, the former having a mirrored S shape on the outer part, while the latter has a shape that makes me think of Malefore, even if it doesn't look like him

Cropped image of old, detailed, yellowish stone flooring with some moss growing around it. The design furthest from the center has a mirrored S shape.

Similarly cropped image of old, stone, greenish gray flooring. Instead of a mirrored S shape, this design has a design resembling a faceless beast with massive horns. I don't really know how to describe it right.

My only argument is that I think this light/energy effect looks more interesting than basic ass electricity (plus I like the pink/purple effect) Also makes Shadow slightly more DBZ coded, and since so many people want Sonic to be more like DBZ, I don't see why anyone would have a problem with this

Redid a few shoe textures again, just the ones that had more jagged lines in the soles but I made squiggly because I didn't feel like putting in the extra effort in that moment It looked uglier though, so I fixed my mistake and made them not ugly by putting in effort Details in alt text

Sonic Adventure 2 textures in the style of Yuji Uekawa's art as of the early 2000's

These textures are based off of different soles of Sonic, Tails, & Knuckles across different games

Sonic has his gray soles from the SA2 Trial, with a Super Sonic version where the colors are slightly altered like in the piece of Super Sonic art by Yuji Uekawa. He also has a red version for both of these

Tails has his soles based off SA2 and Sonic 06, both with a blue alt since some people think Tails should have blue shoes, and who am I to deny them that, even if I disagree with it

Knuckles has his soles from SA2, Sonic Heroes, and Sonic 06

When I originally made them, I was already exhausted from making many textures (and still had many to make left), so I cut some corners and made these ones have squiggly lines when the textures they're based off of had more jagged lines

In my process of making these textures, the app I use has shapes I can manipulate, but it can be tedious with some shapes. For the jagged lines I have to take a straight line and align them, and then copy and paste each individual line and move them around

That wouldn't be so bad normally, but I just really didn't feel like doing all that at the time, so instead I used a single squiggly line, which was less tedious

It's definitely uglier though, so now that my battery has recharged (I guess?????) I went back and changed it to what it should've been

I promise I do more than just textures Old one (ewwww) on the right for comparison Genuinely, why did I think the old one was acceptable, it's so bad

Sonic Adventure 2 soap shoes texture based off of it's one appearance on Sonic X, now with 100% less gradients, at 1024x1024 (not this pic tho), more accurate colors, and much less UV editing required on the SA2 model

My original attempt at the soap shoes texture based off Sonic X, only at 256x256, colors that are slightly off compared to the show, and an egregious amount of gradients despite the show not really having any on the characters

With the first two attempts I really doubt it would've looked good, but again, it was really intimidating to move things into the last attempt's placement Thankfully, I'm extremely jobless so I had plenty of time to do it (Details in alt text)

The texture of Shadow's shoes in the base game, upscaled from 64x64 to 1024x1024

The preview I uploaded months ago of Shadow's shoe texture I made in the style of Yuji Uekawa's art. If you genuinely can't see the picture and rely on alt text to "see" it, then I can't do a good enough job emphasizing how bad this texture is compared to my latest attempt. I also deleted the original so this preview I uploaded before is all that's left of this version, and it's very low quality and crusty looking.

Matches the Sonic Adventure 2 Battle box art somewhat better than previous attempt, but the air holes are still too big and spread out for the front and back to have enough space to look good on the model (not pictured here). Since I decided to make the thread on a whim and this specific texture is outdated, this is just the full resolution image at 1024x1024 without any watermark, I doubt anyone is gonna steal this

My latest attempt, what I believe to be closest to Yuji Uekawa's art for Sonic Adventure 2's model

Comparing the art to the original texture, you'll see it's not 1 to 1 This was very intimidating after my first attempt

Here is a better look at the textures I think have been improved/changed the most (aside from the jumpballs) Reminder that the images I share are around 256x256 or 512x512 when the actual image I intend to use are 1024x1024 Left is new, right is old

Knuckles' shoe textures. His Legos have more detail and the gradient on the green part has been altered to better match a piece of art from around the release of SA2.

Shadow's shoe textures. I don't know how to describe it very well, so I apologize in advance. The red has been redone, and it doesn't look much different, but I think it looks significantly better this way. The soles have been changed so the part around the exhaust that is visible when standing is red rather than orange, with a gradient that goes up to where the rest wouldn't be visible when standing still, to better match most of Shadow's art. The border around the squares around the exhausts (I told you I was bad at describing), has been made thicker to better match the SA2 Battle art of Shadow in the air where you can see the soles of his shoes. That art was the original reference for the old version of the texture and that is why it was noticeably more orange before.

Here's what I'm talking about some of them have only been slightly tweaked, and some are almost entirely redone, but either way I'm very happy with these and can't wait to see them in game (Changes in alt text)

SA2 textures in the style of Yuji Uekawa's art. The jumpball textures used to be mostly 2 solid colors with some gradients making a circle since there isn't any depictions of the jumpballs by Yuji Uekawa. The closest there is is Sonic advance, so I used those sprites to get an idea of how they would look. I did Sonic, Super Sonic, Shadow, Super Shadow, White Super Shadow, Amy, Tails, and Knuckles. Tails and Knuckles don't have Jumpballs in SA2, so they're more for SA1 if I ever learn how to model edit for that game. The super forms only have Jumpballs in a mod I think, and maybe Tails does, but I'm not too sure since I think those mods came out after my forced hiatus. I removed a gradient that went on Rouge's boots and instead added some wrinkles, and I intend on adding that to Amy's boots too. I redid the buckle shape for Sonic's shoes, redid the colors, and the same for his super textures. I slightly tweaked some of the interior of Tails' ear and the gradient on his Tails. I redid the colors and resized parts of Shadow's shoes and their super variations. I added some details on the top of Knuckles' Lego parts (it's actually armor plating but they look like Legos), added slightly more color to the green highlights, and rearranged a bit of the gradient placements. For all the Shadow textures with his inhibitor rings, I slightly tweaked the gradients.

More pins for the Twewy SA1 Mod for the other item box images, except the clock that only appears in the Nights pinball I think

Pin designs for the items, all of which are based off of existing pins, except the shield (original design (also the lamest one)), and the invincibility (the fusion pin ripped straight from the final boss of the first game). The Rings are based off of the material pins, like Tektite, Dark Matter, etc. the Shield is using graphics from the Crackle Pop Barrier pin, with a green fire graphic around a sphere vaguely resembling a green shield seen in SA1, 2, Advance, etc. The Thunder Shield uses a recreated Thunderbolt pin. The Speed Shoes pin is a recolored version of one of the pins that grant you the Velocity Attack (I can't identify which pin it is, maybe it was JP only). The bomb item is a recolored version of the Onmyo pin (which allows you to damage enemies by shouting into the microphone), it is now red and blue instead of orange and purple, and the text has been changed to Sonic The Hedgehog instead of Jupiter of the Monkey.

Knuckles thousands of years ago in the Fleetway/Sonic the Comic adaptation of Sonic Adventure. He has green paint in 2 long triangular shapes on his head, and white stripes on the first dread to his right, with a white/gray outfit and a wooden spear that has been partially cropped out.
